‘You just knew' – Scott McTominay's first coach reveals where Man Utd went wrong with ‘special player'
SCOTT McTOMINAY was discarded by Manchester United but has stolen the heart of Naples. Named Serie A player of the year, the Scot fired Antonio Conte's men to the Scudetto and earned a place in Neapolitan folklore alongside the great Diego Maradona.

McTominay, signed for £25million from The 28-year-old got the title party started on their final day of the season with a stunning scissor-kick finish against Cagliari. Advertisement READ MORE IN FOOTBALL While United needed to flog the academy product for financial reasons, McTominay was also ready for a new challenge. At Napoli, he found a boss in Conte who sees him as the heart of a side, rather than someone who can fill gaps here and there. Conte's faith brought the best out of the Scot — who is on national team duty next week for friendlies with Iceland and Liechtenstein — and his exploits in Italy have surprised many back home. Though those who worked with him early on were so confident he would hit these heights, they kept mementoes from day one.

Advertisement 'I'd have to have another few kids to do a drill and do the same thing again with him because he just wanted to get it. 'It's rare you see that in a child that age.' McTominay was never fully utilised by successive United managers after being handed his Red Devils debut by Jose Mourinho in 2017. Jackson explained: 'Jose was just fantastic for him. Gave him his debut, looked after him. Advertisement 'Scott always works off confidence and a pat on the back. If you believe in him, he'll run over coals for you. Conte's done that.

Everyone has been won over, with Italian sports paper La Gazzetta dello Sport hailing him as 'the highlander who came from Manchester to tear our championship apart' and 'the symbol of the Scudetto'. Advertisement There will certainly be some red faces in After a season of watching players lacking character and fight, and finishing a dismal 15th in the Prem, McTominay is exactly the sort of player they need. Earlier this season, former boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer shared his amazement by saying: 'How you can sell Scott is beyond me.' The biggest fear in Manchester is this might only be the start. Advertisement Jackson, who keeps in touch with McTominay, added: 'The best is yet to come for him. I don't think you've seen anything yet. 'I used to say to his dad Frank, 'He'll never be looked at as world class and it's a shame but he should be because he is'. 'He had success with Man United but to go and do what he's now done . . . and there is much, much more to come.

Advertisement READ MORE IN FOOTBALL Champions League final 24-25 LIVE Gianluigi Donnarumma - 6 A spectator for most of the first half. Whenever Inter had a glimmer of an opening, his defenders shut it down or watched their opponents fail to capitalise. He did not have a save of any kind to make in the first 45 minutes. Pawed unconvincingly at a couple of crosses after the break but still did not make a save until the 75th minute when he got down well to deny Thuram. 27 Gianluigo Donnarumma was largely a spectator Credit: Getty Advertisement 27 Achraf Hakimi - 8 Put Inter on the back foot from the start by playing high to wipe out the Italians' apparent superiority in midfield numbers.

Used his strength and physicality to win balls in the air and to shut doors that were threatening to open. And it was his determination not to let the ball go out for a corner that led to his team's second goal. Made some important interventions as Inter improved (a bit) and kept his concentration and commitment going until the end. 27 Willian Pacho won all of his personal duels Credit: Shutterstock Editorial Advertisement 27 Nuno Mendes - 7 Laid down a marker early on by winning a 50/50 ball against Thuram that the Inter striker just didn't want as much.

Advertisement 27 Nuno Mendes has been brilliant all season for PSG Credit: Shutterstock Editorial 27 Joao Neves - 8 Worked just as hard as his midfield partners, but on the less glamorous side of the game, without the ball. Used his intelligence to judge when to press and when to block the passing channels as Inter struggled to find any sort of rhythm.

Advertisement The little maestro conducted the game, pulling the strings and creating the shapes that stopped Inter's midfield making any impression. Made important challenge in his own box early in the second half then found Doue perfectly for the third. 27 Vitinha has cemented his place as one of world's best midfielders Credit: EPA 27 Advertisement Fabian Ruiz - 8 Spain's Euros-winning midfielder was perpetual motion, popping up all over the pitch and offering his team-mates option after option. One moment he was a centre forward, the next a No10, then a midfield pivot, then he dropped into centre back to start the play again.

Like Ruiz, he was turning up in unexpected places, even appearing at right back on one occasion to retrieve the ball. Worried Inter with his pace and was equally speed in thought to sweep the ball across to Doue for the second goal.
